Hello everyone,
My daughter Shelby had scoliosis surgery June 19th, 2006. She had serious curves of 44T and 64L. She is fused from T4 to L4. Lately she has been experiencing pain in her right calf and behind her knee. It is not consistent, somedays worse than others. Her doctor ordered an untrasound to see if she had a blood clot and thankfully she did not. Most medicine she tries makes her groggy so she won't stick with it. Her surgeon said the only other thing he can think of would be nerve pain from the screws. He says he won't remove her rods until a year post op but he would rather wait 2 years. I just wondered if anyone else had experienced extreme leg pain and if so did you find anything that helped?
Thanks,
Kathy
